The fossil in question was generally regarded to be the 220 million year-old remains of

Tyrannosaurus Rex. Several years ago, however this hypothesis was overturned by the discovery of yet
another species {Morehouse, 1993} which is now the undisputed progeny {Argus, 1991;Turnhouse, 1987}
of the species at hand. While the true origin of this larger reptile is quite uncertain at this time, it is thought
to be from central or eastern Asia.

Where the other species {Schwartz, 1990} arose is a mystery. If it was central Asia, we could
reasonably infer that other reptiles were not dominant in this ecosystem. Some think that we will never
know {Billoski, 1987, Triceratops Extinction Linked to Asteroid Collision;Schwartz, 1976;Whiting, 1987}.
However, fossils currently in the museum in Berlin provide strong evidence that the emerging reptile was
small-boned and duck-billed {Whiting, 1987}, possibly with a larger wing-like arm.
